Hearts : To celebrate Valentines day…

Hearts represent compassion and understanding and are a visceral symbol of love.

Hearts also signify being held in the memory of those who love you and communicates their understanding.

I don’t tend to use hearts in my textile work , but here’s some that have inspired me.
